The following sensible and well
written article is from tho pen of a
correspondent in the Morgantown
Ne,o Dominion; and being so appli-
cable, and so much better than we
could put it, that We adopt it as our
own:
@If the Legislature of the State of
West Virginia and the people of the
various communities would take the
trouble and spend the money to adj
veriise the State that the people in
many parts of the West do, and
simply tell the truth abont it, tide
of emigration would soon be turned
in this direction that would make
West Virginia rival some of the
West in its growth in population
and wealth. West virginia's posi-
bilities are greater than those of any
western State that can be named.
Her mineral wealth is almost unlim-
tied; her soil and climate make her
the equal of the West for farming;
a well TILED farm here will produce
about the same profit, acre for acre,
as farm in Illinois or Iowa. In
many sections of the State excellent
farming and grazing lands can be
had cheap. In other lines of indus
try we are prepared to offer special
inducements and advantages to en-
terprizing strangers, Nearly all
sections of the State furnish an
abundance of excellent coal. Ere
quently in the same sections are
belts of fine timber, and even mex
haustible supplies of natural gas
that can be utilized in almost any
kind of manufacturing to immense
advantage.
"All the advantages offered to new
Corners remain unimproved simply
because they are unknown.
"a short time ago the Board of
Commerce of Findley, Ohio, issued
circulars in which they offered to
give to parties who would locate
manufactures there, free fuel, free
light and free sites on which to
build. BY the expenditure of few
THOUSANDS of dollars in this direc-
ton the town of Findley will in all
probability secure the location of
industries that will prove a mine of
wealth; that will distribute possibly
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
the place annually
ave commend the enterprise of
the Ohio town in thus endeavoring
to add to its population and its
wealth. West Virginia ought to
make an effort in the same direc-
ton. A few thousands spent ju-
diciously in this way would no
doubt repay one hundred fold.
''Not long since the writer of this
in conversation with a gentleman
who is a prominent citizen of
thriving western city, was informed
by the western man that West Vir-
ginia was far richer than the State
OF his adoption; but said he, your
people are too slow and conserva-
tive. If they had the snap that
people in the West have you would
soon have one of the best States in
the Union. While this is the case,
1 can make five times as much money
in the West as 1 could in West Vir-
ginia- I'll tell you confidentially
that much of the West is on q fic-
titioas basis of valuation
The gentleman said much more
in the same strain and added that
people in West Virginia did not see
the opportunities that might be i'm
proved almost every day.
aAnd the gentleman was right .

was to be captured by them at the

the source of their confidence has

Why tie Anarchists should be
Hanged.


In the course of long editorial,
the New York Tribune says: at is
no cause for surprise that petitions
for the pardon of the Anarchists are
receiving many signatures in Chica-
go. There are always fools to SYM.
pathize with murderers but who new
er give thought for their victims.
There are always weak minded per-
sons who sign any petition present
ed to them, whether it is to put
rogue or blockhead into an Office,
or to let a criminal loose on So
ciety,
at may be that. these petitions
will receive many thousand sigma
lures. 1t may even be that they
will receive so many as to be mista-
ken by some for an expression of
public sentiment. Weshall all hope
to be spared from any such exhibit
ton of maudlin sentiment. But if
it should come Governor Oglesby
would find that he has in his hands
the decision of an issue of national
importance. These men are not or
binary criminals. The question
raised here bears no relation to the
consideration of expedieney com
monty involved in the pardon of
malefactors.
"The unwise release of a murderer
or burglar may have serious re-
suits, but the harm that would be
done would, after all, spend itself
within a narrow circle. But if these
men should be pardoned, or their
sentence should be which
would doubtless be only the first
step toward a pardon at some future
day-the news would send a thrill
of joy through every band of anarch-
lists in America and Europe. Every
man who breaches assassination and
destruction would be eIated. In
Europe it would be interpreted to
mean that in the great republic Ii
cense and liberty are one and the
same thing. 1t would be said that,
having got our hands on the throats
of these miscreants, we lost courage,
and instead of choking their lives
out of them to protect our own, we
lost courage and weakly let them
go. In this country every lawless
element would take hold at once
and COON with new plans for spread
ing their gospel of murder.
"The pardon of the men would
multiply hundred fold, every dan
ger that exists to-day from this class
in our population. This would be
fearful responsibility for an execu-
tive to take. If few noisy thous-
ands demand, let Governor 0glesby
think of the silent millions who
sternly wait to see justice done"

bad weather sets in. This is a bad
and dangerous plan as the ground
is cold and damp and may lay the

A LUDIoRous Picture.
draws a picture at once ludicrous and
sad, of body of peaceful English
peasants who are disciplined and
drilled and dressed in red and sent to
Spain, aud there placed opposite to
an equal number of French peasants,
also in uniform and with guns in their
hands. AT the word of command
both parties fire, and thirty men on
either side fall dead; and in the place
of sixty brisk, useful craftsmen, the
world has sixty dead carcasses, which
IT must bury and anew shed tears for.
Had these men any quarrel? Busy
as the devil is, not the smallest. They
lived far enough apart; were the en-
tireSt strangers; nay, in so wide a
universe there was even unconscious
ly, by commerce, some mutual help
fulness between them. How then?
Simpletons! Their governors have
fallen out; and instead of shooting
one another, had the cunning to make
these poor blockheads shoot. Is not
this, in a nutshell, the history of half
the wars the world has seen? The
governors have quarreled, and the
people have been made to believe
the quarrel was their own; and is
there not the strongest reason for
supposing that as education spreads,
as governments become more truly
their real interest, wars OF this kind
at least into which kings lead their
Subjects, will no more be heard OF.
